TESTIMONIALS

Words of appreciation

As a law practice, we have received recognition from legal industry awards, but, more than that, our own customers have been delighted about their experience and results.

"Experience with previous large impersonal legal firms drove our desire for a more one-on-one relationship. My Lawyer has consistently delivered everything promised in a timely manner. It’s all I could ask for."

— 

Tony Anstee

"My entire experience with Sharrock Pitman Legal was fantastic from beginning to end. I was able to speak with a lawyer as soon as I called, which is unusual in most firms! I spoke with and subsequently met with my lawyer regarding a sensitive employment relations issue, which still causes me some distress. My lawyer handled my situation with kindness, empathy and professionalism. He gave me excellent legal advice and was keen to ensure my psychological well being. I would recommend the firm to anyone seeking professional legal advice with heart."

Margaret L

"I have already made recommendations to several friends and my son. My lawyer was assisted by another lawyer at Sharrock Pitman Legal who has handled other matters for me, and it is because of his professionalism, efficiency and willingness to carefully explain my questions and details in the documents that I returned. His work ethic was matched by my usual lawyer and I have no intention of using or recommending any other firm. My experience with both gentlemen erased any concerns I held about my legal matters."

— 

Barbara Rawlings

“I have used your services once before and was very pleased with the end result which is why I came back for further assistance when I needed it again. Very happy with this time too and with My Lawyer’s knowledge and help. I would without any hesitation recommend your services to others.”

— 

Mavis Urwin

“My Lawyers were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and talk to you in layman terms. We have used Sharrock Pitman before and would certainly use them again.”

— 

Wayne & Catherine

“The entire process, from initial discussion to completion of work was handled smoothly and professionally. At all times we were kept updated and clear on each step.”

— 

Craig Newton

"I wish to thank all involved in my situation. It was a very stressful time and I felt listened to, heard and understood. I appreciated the guidance and reassurance in times of my own distress and confusion. I would not hesitate to recommend or use again should the need arise."

— 

Kathryn Wilkinson

"Andre has been incredibly helpful and I really appreciate how easy it was to contact him regarding our commercial lease negotiations. I have never had such a positive and efficient experience with a lawyer. Will definitely use again."

— 

Felicity Ferber

"My sessions with Mitchell were rewarding and courteous, full of information and highly pleasant. The added bonus was the the unlimited time Mitchell was ready to give to me to deal with my matters."
